He continued, "As of now, we are concentrating only on the urban sector
and those segments in which we can earn profits. But that will not be
possible anymore."
Suman Sulakshan (Sulakshan), regional manager of the western division
asked, "Why, sir? Any new regulation by IRDA?"
Pillai answered, "Yes. IRDA has come up for the first time with an exact
definition of rural India. As per the new definition, for an area to be
termed as rural, 75 percent of the male population in a rural area has
to be engaged in agricultural operations." ... |
